1. A pair of game-changing memory foam slippers for indoor *and* outdoor use, so they can enjoy these lightweight, plush-lined clouds that mold to their feet anywhere they roam.
Promising review: "Wonderful slippers. So soft and cozy. Pretty much the only thing I've worn since January. They're very well made, but I feel like I'll wear a hole in them pretty soon because I wear them so much. Will definitely purchase again for myself and as a gift for literally everyone I know." —David and Melena

2. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds reviewers compare to AirPods, except arguably better — these are completely waterproof (like, they can fully take them in the shower) and come with several silicone earbuds to get the best fit possible.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge).
Promising review: "So far I love everything about these earphones. I have had multiple kinds of wireless headphones and am always getting the wires hung on everything. These are so comfortable, they stay in my ears well. The sound quality is fantastic. I haven’t tried them in the shower yet, but will do that soon. I will be ordering more to give for gifts. They are wonderful!! They pair easily to my phone and IPad. Noise cancellation is great. They are comfortable to wear also. I have small ears, so the small bud that comes with works very well for me. My 27-year-old son LOVES to sing in the shower so I am going to buy him a pair of these for Christmas. He will love them as much as I do." —Karen Haney

3. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that will play white noise or the music of their choice in a comfy headband, so they don't have to risk their ears getting sore while they snooze.
Promising review: "My husband and I travel a lot! I bought each of us one for our last cruise. They were a godsend! The headband is easy to use and holds a charge for days. We were able to use Bluetooth to our own devices. They are comfortable enough to sleep in, we slept with ours on every night for the seven-day cruise. We find ourselves using them a lot here at home as well. The material is comfortable and breathable. I don't think it would keep your ears very warm in the cold but I also don't think the material is thick enough for you to sweat in either. Overall we are both very pleased and plan to purchase some for Christmas and birthday gifts." —Jenn S.

4. A trio lasagna pan designed so all of their edges are so perfectly crisped it will taste like Remy from Ratatouille cut them with his own discerning, bougie eyes.
FYI, you can 6,000% use these for brownies, blondies, and bread too. This is also great for making several kinds of lasagna at once, if you and other fam members have different preferences!
Promising review: "I ordered this pan and made lasagna three ways, traditional, vegetarian, vegan for a dinner party, the pan is very deep and each space is approximately the size of of lasagna noodle. The party was a big success and pleased everyone. The day after the party I gifted each couple a pan. We are having a complete dinner based on this pan. 1) appetizers (3 dips in one pan). 2) side dishes or bread in 3) main dish Mexican, Italian and Greek and finally, 4) brownies three ways in the last pan. I have not run into a single person who is not surprised by is versatility. I'm ordering multiple pans for Christmas gifts." —LESLIE M WEISBRICH

5. A time-marked water bottle you can get them in a bajillion different colors if they're someone who needs reminders to stay hydrated — this one's especially great because of the ease of use. It's designed to fit into car cup holders and has a lil' button by the mouthpiece to pop the cap off for easy access.
It's also BPA-free and comes equipped with a flip-top lid for protection from germs and debris and a silicone, leak-proof spout for easy drinking flow.
Promising review: "I love how the water bottle is marked with how much you are drinking in a day. I loved the sippy straw, no mess, no leaking, very high quality, and something I’m gifting this Christmas because of how much I love!" —Rebecca

6. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to bring balance to The Force *and* to their sushi — whether they're repping the dark side or the light.
As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force.
Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger than I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully, that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony

7. A sparkling-wine saver to keep their bubblies bubbling, so they can pop a bottle any day of the week without worrying about wasting the leftovers. (Psst — this gift pairs well with an actual bottle of bubbly, wink wink, nudge nudge.)
I purchased one of these at the aggressive behest of a friend, and it's LEGIT. I told myself I was a Red Wine Lady my whole life because it was easier to save for later, but now that I don't live in constant fear of wasting the bubbly stuff, I am an All Wine Lady and have finally achieved my truest form.
Promising review: "What’s not to like?! I’m a Champers/bubbles person and I need to be able to cork my bubbles so I can have a glass or two every day! This works amazingly well and it’s sooooooooo easy! Bought one and then three more as gifts!!! Excellent price point and it also saves your bubbles so you get to finish a bottle in a couple of days!! No wasted bubbles!!!" —Brontski

8. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey to instantly elevate all their favorite dishes to "my compliments to the CHEF" level. This can add a pinch of sweetness and a kick of spice to anything from pizza to salads to tacos to — be still my '90s bb heart — grilled cheese.
Mike's Hot Honey is a small business that specializes in specialty food and gift products.
Promising review: "This is now a staple for my kitchen. How I cooked without it before, I'll never know. Makes the best vinaigrette ever, quick pan sauces for pork, unexpected zip in dozens of dishes. Does it come in gallons? Have given it as hostess gifts several times and everyone gets hooked." —Martha Romeus

9. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover to prevent wine-related allergies and migraines, so they can enjoy that wine advent calendar without powering through a migraine the whole next day.
It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends one to two drops for each glass of white wine, two to three for a glass of red, and seven to nine if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and it should be raring to go!
Promising review: "Is this magic? I’ve always gotten headaches from wine that turn into migraines. Not anymore! I’m not sure how this works but it seems to effectively neutralize the sulfates and tannins in the wine that cause headaches. It’s discrete and the bottle seems like it will last me awhile. I’m going to gift one to my Mom who has the same issue." —Becky duPuis Bartek

10. A contoured sleep mask designed to alleviate pressure from their eyes and plunge them into total delicious darkness, while staying put on their head without any Velcro snagging in their hair. A lot of 20-minute power naps are about to turn into three-hour sleep-a-paloozas, y'all.
Promising review: "I've tried many sleep masks but this is the only one I like. The foam around the eye sockets is soft and covered with soft material that forms a seal around my eye sockets. This makes it very comfortable and shields out any light, even if I want to take a nap during the day! I have been able to regulate my sleep better because I put it on when I want to sleep and I am not awakened by light until I want to be. I usually stay up until at least midnight and wake up the minute the sun comes out but I've been able to sleep many hours more than usual. This is THE ONLY mask I give as a gift and the recipients tell me they have gotten the same response — longer sleep in the morning. Excellent buy!" —Fanceyfootwork

11. A satin pillowcase to invest in, not only for its cooling effect, but the fact that it's soft on skin and creates less friction for hair so that it won't get as tangled while they sleep. Reviewers also swear by these for helping clear up their acne and love how easy these are to wash while still maintaining their quality.
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review: "I was stunned when I opened the package at the luscious look and feel of this pillowcase.The look and feel of fine silk at a great price and is machine washable. I’ve already bought two more and given one as a gift. I highly recommend this pillowcase." —Woodvetch

12. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic they can sync with preeeeetty much anything, including speakers, players, or singing apps on their phone. Now they can live out their Ariana Grande fan fiction in the comfort of their own home.
Promising review: "I only wish that I would have bought this sooner. I’ve karaokied alone and with others every day since it came. One day it was all that I did all day. I ate meals but not a chore or responsibility.... just hardcore karaoke. I found it best to pull up YouTube scrolling lyrics on the TV and then use the microphone to project my voice but you can have both come through true microphone easily. I can’t wait to use it in the car on a girls trip. I just bought a second one for duets and have plans to send a couple as gifts. Great purchase!!" —Susie Q

13. A rechargeable hand warmer complete with double-sided heat and three different heat settings the user can adjust to their environment, whether it's "walking in a winter wonderland" or "everyone in this house is deeply divided on what a regular human temperature is, MOM."
Psst — this is USB rechargeable, and you can even use a power bank or your phone to charge it!
Promising review: "This hand warmer is amazing! My hands are constantly cold and I've tried all sorts of products to help keep them warm but nothing has worked until now. I charge the hand warmer every night with a standard USB charger and the next day, I have hours of warmth. The three temperature settings are very helpful. I use the highest setting when I'm outdoors for long periods of time and the lower settings when I'm indoors (e.g. sitting at my desk or in a cold movie theater). I've already given hand warmers as gifts to several cold-handed friends and family members and they're loving it as well. I hope Ocoopa comes out with a foot warmer next!" —Riva Kupritz

14. A gorgeous pastel paint-by-number, because it's the kind of gift that keeps on giving: not only is it a great activity, but the end result is a watercolor so beautiful it deserves a frame.
Each set comes with a detailed numbered outline, three brushes, and a set of numbered acrylic paints with extra to spare.
Promising review: "I bought this for myself and three others as gifts for friends. The kit contains not only the canvas layout but also a paper copy of the layout. I have taken the paper copy and enlarged sections. Then, I colored the portion I planned to paint next. This helps me paint all of one color at one time. It is relaxing to spend time painting, and I think the finished product will be something I can be proud to hang in my home." —Linda

15. A five-year One Line A Day journal perfect for anyone who keeps starting journals and then abandoning them — one line a day is *super* low commitment, so it'll likely stick (and imagine the satisfaction of looking back every year!).
The book comes with 365 pages, each of which has lines for five days, so they'll write on the same page each year when the date comes around again. It's a really cool way to reflect on their ~journey~ — kind of like those "this time last year!" things your phone or Facebook does, except they're the ones in control of what gets written and saved.
Promising review: "This is a FANTASTIC journal centered on a FANTASTIC concept! I'm a hardcore journaler, keeping a detailed daily diary for many years now. And this journal fits right in. If I don't get to my primary journal for a day or two, this book reminds me of what I did on what day, etc. It's just a great little log. It's also great fun! I just finished my first volume of this book, and it was SO FUN to see what happened on each day from the previous years. At this point, I have three more blank ones in storage; I hope they make these for many more years to come so I can keep going with them, and keep gifting them." —Sarah L Carnes

Promising review: "I really thought this item was overpromised. I thought that there was no way it would be so easy to install AND so sturdy. Holy moly. I am SO IMPRESSED. It literally installed in seconds. Like, it feels wrong to even call it 'installation.' It truly was THAT EASY. I can fit way more on it than I expected. It is super sturdy. And for the price, I would buy this as a housewarming gift for literally everyone I know. It makes my life easier every single day." —Lacy

17. A Java Sok, aka a reusable iced coffee cup insulator they can use to keep their drink cold *and* their fingers from freezing off. I know some of your friends are the type who are still chugging iced coffee in the snow and I humbly offer this to protect their unsuspecting digits.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough positive things about the Java Sok. As a regular iced coffee drinker (Starbucks on the daily), this thing is truly awesome! I use it in the car, office, home...everywhere! I will be purchasing the other sizes and will get a few as gifts for my office peeps. Added bonus...seems to keep my drink colder longer. Buy the Java Sok...you will not be disappointed!" —Lyndsey L

Promising review: "This is a perfect companion for my new planner 2020. It’s ideal for me to organize my planner with multi color entries on my planner. 18 color pens are crafted with a style. They are very sturdy and easy to hold on hand. The fine tips give stylish writing. I love to send them as gifts for my kids." —David

19. A set of pastel rainbow silicone cupcake liners for the avid bakers of cupcakes, mini quiches, and bite-sized goodies who don't want to go through disposable paper liners 🧁🌈.
These are also super handy because they stay upright on flat pans, so you don't even need to buy a cupcake pan to make cupcake-shaped goodies! They're also designed for easy release and are dishwasher-, microwave-, and freezer-safe.
Promising review: "Love these!! I have bought several sets and including them as gifts. They are totally nonstick. After use, you do have to wash them in hot soapy water to remove all grease. They take quite a while to dry — like water just sticks to this surface. I leave them out overnight, all separated and they are dry by morning. I make breakfast muffins (like crustless quiches). With egg, a nonstick muffin pan still sticks and requires way too much work." —jcavalon

Promising review: "Best purchase ever! Great bag. Not bulky or heavy, super soft. Just the right size handle. Convenient inside pocket for easy access to your phone and ChapStick. Bought the black and hunter green. Buying the orange to give as a gift. You won’t be disappointed. Even came with a cute colorful mini scarf. Could have put it on the bag but instead a wear it as a headband." —marthafruit

21. A super-soft Makeup Eraser to wipe makeup right off their face with nothing but water and a gentle scrub — I've been using one for over a year now and it has *drastically* cut down my makeup-removing routine.
It's got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and a light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you're done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! No more wasting money on icky washcloths that hurt your skin!!! I can hear your pores singing from here.
Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for a friend after another friend gave me one a couple of years ago. I have used mine every night for several years and it’s still amazing. I just use one area each night to take off my eye makeup and then use the reverse side to wipe off my face before applying lotion for the evening. I love that I’m not using chemicals on my face and it’s super environmentally friendly because I just wash it weekly with my towels and it’s like new again. Everyone should have one of these. Now, I give them as gifts." —katieheff

22. A seat gap filler so nobody will ever again have to sacrifice a beloved french fry and/or phone to the abyss between the seat and the console.
Drop Stop is a small business featured on Shark Tank that specializes in car accessories.
Promising review: "Decided to try these while I was still a bit skeptical that they'd work. I found they fit well in the space. I had to squish them in the space and then they expand back to fill the gap. We've dropped a couple of things that would have most likely gone into that space and it was nice to see it do its job. Worth the money and decided I'm going to give this product as gifts this year. Figure most people won't already own it but would love to have it if they got a chance to try a set." —Amazon Customer

23. A "Bagnet," aka a magnet for their bag so strong that if they listen very quietly they can hear it saying, "Do you even lift, bro??" This adorable keychain can magnetize to a car headrest, metal table leg, grocery store cart, or metal bathroom door to hold up to 8 pounds, so their favorite bags never have to touch the dirty floor.
Bagnet is a woman-owned small business that specializes in magnetic bag holders and handbags.
Check out a TikTok of the Bagnet in action.
Promising review: "This is the best bag holder ever! I was completely blown away, the magnet is SO strong. Works in so many places, in restrooms (try the hinges if the door isn't metal), at restaurants (on tables, chairs, even under the table), at the gym to hold my water bottle and keys so they don't end up on the floor. But my absolute favorite place to use it is on my car! I can attach it to the side of my car while I unlock it without having my hands full and leaving me vulnerable, My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I am going to get one for everyone in my life for Christmas. —robert rodriguez

Promising review: "I love this product! Every day I love to enjoy a nice cup of coffee and multiple cups of tea but I’m a slow drinker and within minutes my tea goes cold. I have one right by my bed and in the office. I only drink cold tea when I want to now 😃! I ended up buying almost 10 more for gifts over the holidays especially for all my friends and family who have to work at home during these times." —Sharise

25. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: A Book-To-Table Classic, a hybrid book and cookbook that incorporates Martha Stewart's recipes based on the text within the actual story. The Austenite in your life is gonna fall in love (and hopefully cook for you).
My mom got me one of these for my birthday, and I'm a lazy monster so I haven't cooked out of it, but my STARS is it gorgeous. I leave it on my coffee table, but unlike other coffee table books, I actually read out of this one. The pictures are so beautiful and soothing. 11/10 would choose to live inside of it if I could.
Promising review: "I’ve just received it and I love it, it’s all girly with recipes, and love the hardcover (a bit big for my liking but I still love it). I bought two, one for me and one as a gift to my best friend. I read Pride and Prejudice many times (in French) and watched almost all the adapted movies and series but still wanted to read the original version in English and I was very delighted to receive this colorful book." —SM

Promising review: "I just got it yesterday and was excited to try it out. First, it looks so cool with its blue light. The foil cutter is awesome, took a second and cut the foil perfectly. Next, I simply centered the corkscrew in the middle of the cork, pressed the down button, and voila the cork came out, push the up button and cork is removed from the bottle opener. Why didn't I get this before? A few months later, still works great and I bought about four more as gifts. All recipients love it!!" —D.S.

Promising review: "This has proven to be a great purchase. I have also purchased two others as gifts. It matches my bedroom and sits on my vanity. Looks great with the decor. More than that it is very convenient to clean my makeup brushes, nail files, etc. If it fits you can use it in this phone soap. It was a great purchase and I am seriously considering the larger version. I've had this almost two years with zero issues." —Island Sandy

There's also a white truffle version as well as a hotter version of the classic black truffle hot sauce.
Promising review: "Once you go TRUFF, you’ll never go back. This is THE BEST HOT SAUCE if you’re a fan of truffle oil and hot sauce. It’s like combining your two most favorite things into the most perfect combination. Excellent on many things, but especially on pizza. I brought this to a pizza party and the hosts tried stealing my bottle by the end of the night! I took it back, but I gifted them a new bottle the next day...you can’t deny food love!" —Steph in DC

Promising review: "Obsessed. I moved to a new apartment with a tiny kitchen that had no room for a 'traditional; coffeemaker. My friend suggested a pour-over coffeemaker, and it's changed my life! I'd never used a pour-over coffeemaker, but after reading the instructions and a few articles online I feel like a pro! It's so easy to use and the coffee tastes great every single time! It keeps the coffee warm and makes enough for two. I also bought one as a gift for my friend and she loves it as much as I do, if not more!" —Francesca

30. A rapid egg cooker that, I am warning you right now, is going to become the recipient's only personality trait. It can make soft, medium, *and* hard-boiled eggs in addition to poaching, scrambling, and making omelets out of them. This gizmo is like a thousand potential brunches in one.
I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and you better BELIEVE I gifted one to my parents apropos of nothing (truly no holiday, no birthday, they got the package and were like "??" and I was like, "Eggs.") I've especially gotten use out of it during the pandemic because it simplifies breakfast — I know no matter what weird assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it (I like mine medium-boiled 🍳). If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra "oomph" to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!
Promising review: "So this is the third rapid egg cooker I've purchased. I give them as gifts and would straight up break somebody's knee caps if they tried to steal mine. My family of four's hard-boiled egg consumption is concerningly high since buying this but until a cholesterol test on my 5-year-old puts an end to our fun we are riding this dream as far as it takes us. Also be warned if you buy these of these Amazon starts suggesting you buy every egg product ever created but honestly it is worth it." —Anna from MN

31. A tiny milk frother that makes rich, creamy froths in seconds, because why stop at regular tea and coffee when you can give the gift of velvety-soft milk tea and lattes?
Promising review: "When you look up milk frothers on Amazon about 100 pull up. They look similar, so how do you know which one to go with?? I watched review after review, and after all of my homework, I decided to go with this one. I’m so glad I did! This thing does the job and well! VERY easy to clean (that’s what I care about). The people who run the company added a kind HAND-WRITTEN note acknowledging the hard times that they know people are going through these days with this pandemic and expressed gratitude for the purchase. I mean WOW. Taking the time to reach out to your purchasers?! Not all small businesses are the same and I’m glad that I went with this one. I will be ordering additional products as Christmas gifts!" —KBSB

32. A wine caddy for the bathtub that will basically make anyone feel like they're living inside an episode of Scandal, sans all the messy political drama and the effort of having to choose impeccable outfits every day.
SipCaddy is a US-based small business that specializes in shower beer and wine bath holders. Bonus: it also holds cans, so they can pop in a LaCroix or enjoy a shower PBR, too.
Promising review: "Loved how easy this was to put in my shower and use for anything from holding beverages to face wash. Gifted it to two friends and my boyfriend who at first mocked it but now LOVES it. I’d consider traveling with it at this point." —MB Schatz

33. A flexible universal tablet stand so they don't have to crane their neck or tire out their arms just to marathon reruns of Parks and Rec in peace.
Promising review: "Just started using this and it appears to work better than other stands I've used. I have used it in bed, on the sofa, and in the kitchen while cooking. The three angles are perfect and the height keeps cooking splatters from reaching surfaces. One must remember that when moving from one spot or location to another to readjust the legs as the stand has a tendency to fold up when moved. I love the feature allowing me to use my electronic device while in bed. Time will tell how well the elastic clasp will keep things secured in this position. Absolutely love this stand so far. Gifted my neighbor with one and he seems as pleased as I am." —Sharon

34. A snap-on pasta strainer to free their pasta from its hot juices straight from the pot, and spare them storage space to boot (is it just me or are colanders always in the business of being exactly in the way of whatever it is you need?). Psst — these are also a game-changer for washing fruit, too!
Promising review: "This is the best kitchen gadget I've purchased in a long time! I've tried it on several sized pots and pans and it's worked great each time. I've used it with pasta, rice and even to drain grease out of meat — works great each time! We use it so much that we recently bought more as gifts for family and friends because it's become our go-to item. I use it nearly everyday and it's holding up great." —gagirl

35. A toilet night light so they can navigate to the bathroom without stubbing their toe on 86 things or turning on the overhead light and confusing their poor brain into thinking it's daytime.
This LED toilet light has 16 colors that can work on a rotation or as a solid color.
Promising review: "I love this and so do my sons. I had to buy another one for a gift because they loved mine so much. It works perfectly. The sensor is very sensitive. It turns on when you walk past the bathroom. The light is bright enough that you don't have to turn on the light every time you go in the bathroom. I catch myself reaching for the light switch out of habit and smile because I don't have to flip the switch and waste electric." —Rose Lamb

36. A cloud-shaped magnetic key holder for an absurdly cute storage option for keys. I dare anyone to forget something dangling from this lil' cloud.
Promising review: "This is the cutest way to hold keys ever! And it was mad easy to install: peel and stick. I don’t know how I ever survived just using a hook instead of this cute magnet cloud. Excellent housewarming gift too. I now take it with wine as a gift for any friends/family moving." —Clemmie C.

37. A solar-charged turtle statue with lil' succulents that glow in the dark so their front porch (and hopes and dreams??) will always be guarded by its adorable light.
Promising review: "It’s pretty in the daylight and adds a nice bright light to my patio. Bought one for my sister’s birthday and she put it on their garden path. The light is very bright. She loves it too. Highly recommend." —Jaxie

38. An organic cat grass kit complete with its own kitty-shaped mug so they can grow some healthy hairball-preventing nibbles for their furriest friend — they should see full stalks in just five to seven days 😻.
Promising review: "I love this so much! It’s so easy to grow and it’s grows so quickly! I love that the grass is organic and grew in my home and was not tampered with like the ones at the store!!! Will be repurchasing to gift to my other cat mom friends and to grow another batch in a different, decorative pot." —Kaycha Baez

39. A rotating, heated back and neck massager perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, whether it's from tension from working at a desk or sore muscles from going hard after a workout. (Or, you know, from existing. It's rough sauce sometimes.)
Promising review: "It's so good I had to order again to gift to my mom! Really hits the spot. After a long day in the salon, my neck and back ache this is my joy to relax after work and turn on the massager first I'll place it in my neck once that feels good enough I move it down my back. So relaxing and works well." —BECKY SIDER

40. An avocado slicer, because yes, avocado is delicious, but fancily-cut avocado they can put on Instagram and humble brag about their brunch-making skills? Out of this world.
This three-in-one tool can split an avocado with its pointy tip, remove the pit with its center, and make perfectly even slices with the bottom — a much safer alternative to using a regular knife and potentially falling prey to the dreaded "avocado hand."
Promising review: "Cutting an avocado is easy enough to do with a knife so I didn’t get what all the hype was about with this tool...... But 'sheltering in place' had me binge-shopping (don’t judge)... Since Amazon has a great return policy I thought I would give it a try. Soooo glad I purchased this! It is an incredible little tool. I should have purchased this years ago. I can slice up an avocado for a salad in under a minute, get perfect size slices and use the ENTIRE avocado. I love it so much I bought more to give as hostess gifts!" —Kathleen Brougham

41. A ponytail holder cuff so they won't have to deal with the weird indentation your signature "emergency hair tie" leaves behind.
Promising review: "I wear this all the time, it is perfect because it can hold thick wristbands and now my wrist has proper circulation! Plus I can wear it with nice dresses and it looks like an accessory, not a wristband holder. Love it so much I bought one for myself and gave them as gifts to my bridesmaids." —M. Manahan

42. A *super* compact eight-in-one spiralizer that also grates cheese, juices fruits, cuts ribbons, and more. All they have to do is change out one of the interlocking caps for a new function. Fresh squeezed OJ? Zoodles in the air fryer? Grated parmesan on their pasta? Done, done, and done. (And they never have to say "when"!!)
I recently purchased this because it was my cheapest option for making zoodles, and also because my apartment is the size of a shoebox and there was no room for anything bigger. I LOVE how easy it is to swap out the caps to do other things, too — I've started grating my own cheeses and feel very fancy. But mostly I just love that it's very safe to use (it comes with a finger guard!), super easy to figure out, very compact, and even has measurements on the inside of the cup if you're ever portioning things out for a recipe.
Promising review: "This is the second spiralizer that I have purchased and by far the best I have used. It's super easy to use and to clean. My other spiralizer that I had was difficult to clean properly and I want to use they as often as possible so the use and cleaning of the product is very important! Fullstar Vegetable Spiralizer is a great product and I will be purchasing more to give as gifts for the holiday season. I would definitely recommend. A+++ item." —Yvonne I

43. A sushi-making kit perfect for beginners or intermediate sushi makers, so they can finally mix and match the exact ingredients their adventurous heart desires.
I'm definitely going to sushi jail for this, but I've started putting peanut butter in my avocado rolls. Don't knock it until you try it. Anyway, each kit comes with two sushi rolling mats, five pairs of chopsticks, a paddle, a spreader, and a PDF of instructions, including recipes for six popular rolls.
Promising review: "Received this the other day and the wife and I had our own sushi night at home...I did not realize there were two mats in the package which was a nice little surprise...everything is made of good quality materials, easy to use and a good fun activity for date night at home. I will be getting a few more as gifts for a few friends...good product, received it quickly and for the price you cannot go wrong." —Timothy J Stegner

Promising review: "This set is absolutely perfect. They are super sturdy and cleaned up very easy. They were the perfect addition to my party table. Everyone thought that not only were they unique, but how sturdy they are. I will definitely be purchasing them again to give as gifts." —eleanor murphy
